Let's not forget about Rumeysa Ozturk who had her day in court yesterday (hits close to home as she was kidnapped about 2.75 miles from my house). The defense was a habeas corpus petition for Constitutional violations by the government. While the government did a lot of hand waving "wrong state", "our fault you didn't know which state, but doesn't matter" etc.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/us/rumeysa-ozturk-arrest-update-tufts-university/index.html

As noted over the weekend even the State Dept knew she had no links to any sort of antisemitism or terrorism. Her only "crime" was writing an op-ed in the student paper speaking out against the University's response to the Israel-Gaza war.

She was denied bond. Just seeing the news break, so more details soon.

The more I’m reading this a load of hogwash. She’s been denied bonded in Louisiana where only the US attorneys presented anything. This has a little to do with her day in court in Vermont.

I don't see anything about this up on NY Times or WashPo, but the Boston Globe has this up:

Quote

A federal immigration judge Wednesday denied bond to Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts graduate student who was taken into custody by immigration enforcement agents last month in Somerville and whisked off to a detention facility in Louisiana.

During the immigration hearing in Louisiana, which was closed to the press, government lawyers contended that Öztürk was both “a flight risk and a danger to the community,” according to a document filed by her lawyer in a separate case in Vermont.

In the document, her lawyers asked that the US District Court judge in her Vermont proceedings order her to be sent from Louisiana to Vermont by Friday.

Öztürk, a Turkish national and Fulbright scholar pursuing a doctorate in child and human development, was arrested while walking on a sidewalk by masked federal immigration agents on March 25, and was brought within a day to a rural Louisiana detention facility, where she has been held since in spite of raising health concerns. Her visa had been revoked days before her arrest, though she hadn’t been notified that was the case.

Authorities arrested Öztürk under the Trump administration’s pledge to deport students here on a visa who had, under the administration’s view, expressed antisemitic views. Öztürk had coauthored a pro-Palestinian op-ed for the Tufts student newspaper, but her lawyers argued her deportation on those grounds would violate her First Amendment right to free speech, and that her detention violates her rights to due process.

“The immigration judge denied bond based on her untenable conclusion that Ms. Öztürk was both a flight risk and a danger to the community,” her lawyers wrote in a petition, asking the Vermont judge to issue a court order. “The immigration judge’s decision was based solely on the [government] memorandum, which points to no conduct of Ms. Öztürk’s except her co-authorship of an op-ed that the [government] memo asserts had ‘found common cause with an organization that was later temporarily banned from campus’.”

The government hasn’t charged Öztürk with a crime.

The night she was arrested, her lawyers filed an emergency petition challenging her detention and the revocation of her student visa. At the time, ICE had already transported her to Vermont. Öztürk was held in that state overnight, then flown to Louisiana the following day.

Her case was transferred to Vermont on April 4 after a federal judge in Boston decided it was the proper venue, denying the government’s request to dismiss her petition or transfer the case to a more favorable venue in Louisiana.

The judge barred the government from deporting Öztürk unless, and until, the Vermont court orders otherwise.

Earlier this month, the Vermont judge denied a request to order her release, saying he first needed to decide which court her case would play out in.

In an affidavit, Öztürk, 30, said she had been living in fear since February, when Canary Mission, an anonymous website purporting to expose “people and groups that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews,” publicly identified her online along with more than 1,800 students at universities across the United States and Canada.

Öztürk wrote in the affidavit that she believed she was being abducted by people who wanted to harm her and feared for her life as she was transferred out of the state.

“I thought this was a strange situation and was sure they were going to kill me,” she wrote.

Öztürk said she experienced several asthma attacks during her journey from Somerville to Louisiana and made multiple requests to speak with her attorney that were denied, according to the affidavit. She was not allowed access to a lawyer for more than 24 hours after she was apprehended, the affidavit said.

Canary Mission is an anonymously-run doxing[1] website established in 2014 that publishes the personal information of students, professors, and organizations that it describes as anti-Israel or antisemitic, focusing primarily on people at North American universities.[2][3][4] Critics have described it as weaponizing the accusation of antisemitism in order to silence critique of Israel.[1]

Canary Mission's published materials have been described as a blacklist.[5][6] Profiles are publicly-available online and intended for wide use, and Canary Mission may actively send them to employers.[7] Known users of the profiles include Israeli intelligence organizations Ministry of Strategic Affairs[1][8][9] and Shin Bet,[1] which interrogate and deny entry to American citizens.[9][10][11] In March 2025, multiple foreign students with Canary Mission profiles were detained by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[12]

*****

Canary Mission's work toward silencing critique of Israel is controversial.[5][13][6] Its tactics have been compared to McCarthyism[14][4] and the makeup and reliability of profiles have been questioned.

Canary Mission does not publish information about who operates or funds it.[1][5][13][6] In 2018, The Intercept reported that the website was adding students to its lists solely following their participation in Students for Justice in Palestine activities. They also reported that Canary Mission perfectly articulated its vision and strategy in its April 2015 debut video. The two-minute clip features images of Jews with yellow stars on their clothes, followed by images of hijab-clad women waving Palestinian flags. The video’s female narrator closes by saying, "It is your duty to ensure that today’s radicals are not tomorrow’s employees."[5]

Although Canary Mission's website states that it is a nonprofit organization, no organization with the name Canary Mission is registered with the IRS. While Canary Mission's website provides a way to donate to the organization via debit or credit card, there is no public record of Canary Mission's sponsors or donors.[3][26] Multiple pro-Israel organizations have denied having any affiliation with Canary Mission.[11]

ICE is holding a US citizen:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/us-born-citizen-detained-ice-immigration-florida-rcna201800

Quote

 

A U.S.-born American citizen was being detained at the request of immigration authorities Thursday despite an advocate showing his U.S. birth certificate in court and a county judge finding no reason for him to be considered an “illegal alien” who illegally entered Florida.

Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez, 20, was arrested Thursday evening by Florida Highway Patrol and charged under a state immigration law that has been temporarily blocked since early this month. Details of Gomez-Lopez’s arrest and detention were first reported by the Florida Phoenix news site.

After inspecting his birth certificate, Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans said during the hearing that “this is indeed an authentic document,” but that she did not have jurisdiction beyond finding no probable cause for the charge.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s role is to enforce immigration laws that generally apply to noncitizens. American citizens are protected under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution from unreasonable search and seizure, arrest and detention.

Nonetheless, he remains detained locally at ICE’s request, said Thomas Kennedy, a spokesperson at the Florida Immigrant Coalition who attended Thursday’s hearing.

“Everything tracks for him being sent to be an ICE detention center,” he told NBC News in a phone interview.

NBC News has reached out to state and federal authorities for comment.

Gomez-Lopez was in a vehicle with other passengers and was traveling to work from Georgia when they were stopped after entering Florida.

A sweeping immigration law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2023 makes it a state crime for an undocumented immigrant over age 18 to enter the state illegally.

Gomez-Lopez was born in Georgia but lived much of his life in Mexico. His first language is Tzotzil, a Mayan language, the Florida Phoenix reported.

His mother burst into tears when she saw her son virtually at his hearing, the news site reported.

“I felt immense helplessness because I couldn’t do anything, and I am desperate to get my son out of there,” she told the Florida Phoenix.

Kennedy compared the situation to Franz Kafka’s novel “The Trial” in which man must defend himself against a charge but has no information about it.

“It’s like this bureaucratic, dystopian nightmare of poorly written laws,” Kennedy said. “We are living in a time when this man could get sent to El Salvador because, what, is he going to be treated like a stateless person?”

Kennedy was referring to the hundreds of immigrants who have been sent by the Trump administration to an El Salvador megaprison after they were accused of being gang members under the wartime Alien Enemies Act. Families, attorneys and some U.S. legislators have not been able to have any contact with them.

A Vermont Judge has ordered Ozturk be transfered from Louisiana to Vermont. News broke about 15-20 minutes ago.

Judge orders detained Tufts PhD student be transferred from Louisiana to Vermont ahead of bail hearing — 6:05 p.m.

By Samantha J. Gross, Globe Staff

A federal judge in Vermont ordered Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts PhD student detained by ICE last month and sent to a detention facility in Louisiana, be sent to Vermont by May 1 ahead of a May 9 bail hearing.

In a 74-page ruling filed Friday night, Judge William K. Sessions III wrote that “Öztürk has raised significant constitutional concerns with her arrest and detention which merit full and fair consideration in this forum.”

“Accordingly, the Court denies the government’s request to dismiss the Petition and orders that Ms. Öztürk be transferred to ICE custody within the District of Vermont.”

The move comes in response to a petition by Öztürk’s lawyers Wednesday night asking the judge order her to be sent from Louisiana to Vermont by Friday.

Öztürk’s case was transferred to Vermont on April 4 after a federal judge in Boston decided it was the proper venue, denying the government’s request to dismiss her petition or transfer the case to a more favorable venue in Louisiana.

In the order filed Friday, Sessions wrote that the federal government ignored the order from the federal judge in Boston entirely.

“Ignoring an order, particularly one issued on an emergency basis in response to events that are currently unfolding, is not the approach the Court expects from the government,” he wrote. “The remedy for the government ignoring the March 25, 2025, order is simple. Ms. Ozturk should be returned to the status quo at the time of issuance when she was in custody in the District of Vermont.”

A federal immigration judge in Louisiana denied bond to Öztürk this week after government lawyers contended that Öztürk was both “a flight risk and a danger to the community.”

Öztürk, a Turkish national and Fulbright scholar pursuing a doctorate in child and human development, was arrested while walking on a sidewalk by masked federal immigration agents on March 25, and was brought within a day to a rural Louisiana detention facility, where she has been held since in spite of raising health concerns. Her visa had been revoked days before her arrest, though she hadn’t been notified that was the case.

His crusade against lawfare was obviously trolling 101. He was lobbing accusations of "lawfare" while his candidate files 60+ suits all over the country with bogus affidavits and straight up lies in order to steal an election he lost.

And now we've got his side extorting law firms who dared oppose him, pulling funding from universities unless they admit more MAGA students, freezing funds to states that he is mad at, and sending his goons to arrest persons who voice opinions different than his.

But yeah, he's VERY concerned when the legal system is abused.

Not to mention all the bullshit defamation cases he filed.  And that legal abortion he filed against Hildawg and everyone in sight, and  the DTPA in Amarillo against CBS, that has now turned into a Lanham Act 43(a) case for fuck's sake.

This is a test. Just like J6. Just like erasing thousands of public servants from their jobs.

If I have to spell it out further you are fucking retarded.

In the clinical sense. Not the figurative sense.

People also ask
What qualifies as mentally retarded?
The condition is further divided into four levels of retardation based on IQ, which include mild mental retardation (IQ between 50-55 and 70), moderate mental retardation (IQ between 35-40 and 50-55), severe mental retardation (IQ between 20-25 and 35-40), and profound mental retardation (IQ below 20 or 25)

How does Louisiana detainment facility enter the equation for Vermont student visa revoked, has to be deported back to turkey?

I think what you're driving at is that a habeas corpus petition, which we have been informed is the exclusive remedy for challenging deportation under the AEA, and maybe many other bases for deportation, is properly venued where the petitioner/detainee is detained.

The administration has been playing whack-a-mole here by moving detainees around so that the venue of their habeas petition is incorrect.  And also to venue the habeas petitions in friendly courts in the Fifth Circuit.

Venue, though, unlike jurisdiction, doesn't affect a court's power to rule, but incorrect venue may cause reversal of the court's final order or conviction because it was ultimately the wrong place for proceedings.  Thus a court in its discretion can transfer to a proper venue.

So, Sessions, rather than transfer venue from Vermont to Louisiana, ordered her returned to Vermont, where she was originally detained.

Posted

What I was driving at is why not revoke her visa, collect her, and send her back to her country of origin?  Or even better, give her a week or more to get back herself or fight the revocation?

why is she being detained at all, and secondary to that is why in Louisiana, which you have answered.

All valid questions.  One thing, though, I'm not sure how much due process visa holders are really entitled to.

But yeah, they seem to be using the same playbook for all of them.

An on-point article at just security.  https://www.justsecurity.org/110614/fox-problem-deporting-international-students/

Also notes that a lot of this may be driven by AI "analysis" of visa-holder's social media and online presence.

Seems to be working with the accuracy that we rightly attribute to AI.

But, again, we should note that all due process is not created equal.  Criminal defendants get the most due process, followed closely by those being deprived of a fundamental right.  In ordinary civil proceedings not protecting a fundamental right (a job, a driver's license, a visa most likely), there are far fewer due process protections.  This is not a new, fascistic development, but has been a feature (or bug) of American law for a long time, through administrations and philosophies progressive and reactionary.

Horrible, but I guess she's also lucky she didn't get detained for several days like the Canadian woman in San Diego. She was placed in a room with other women with no explanation. Then after 6 days, she and the other women were moved to Arizona. She got out after 12 days. https://archive.is/k34Pr

If you guys are looking to put some money out there to help immigrants, may I suggest the EDSBS/ShutownFullcast Charity Bowl?  Every year they do this for American Pathways, which is a resettlement group.  They are obviously having a hard time as funding has been cut by the government and there is a lot of uncertainty.  Last year, I think they raised over $1M through this drive and are trying to surpass that.

Since this is a college football (former) blog and podcast, they track it by school and have rivalries.  Right now, A&M is beating our ass ($47K to $4K), so let's get that number up.  https://www.moneycannon.org/?t=leaderboard

They also encourage your donation to be a number that has meaning to the college football fandom.  For instance, I put up $490 a couple years ago in honor of 49-0 over OU.  People do rushing yards, pass completions, etc etc.  

Anyway, if you're so inclined, it is greatly appreciated by this charity and the immigrants that depend on it:

https://fundraise.givesmart.com/e/k-yA-Q?vid=1iywsc

Quick update for the people.  They raised almost $1.4M, which is a new record.  Just a massive amount of money that should do good for those new immigrants who are scared and need help.

Texas doesn't usually do well, but we ended up at #3 this year ($67,846), behind only Michigan (they have big donors on this and always win) and Protect Trans Kids University (why not?) and just ahead of A&M.  I checked in daily out of curiosity and there was a huge bump for Texas one day, so someone must have come up big.  Probably not any of you degenerates, but good on you if you threw some money their way last week.

The best story I heard this year was one of the main Michigan donors called them towards the end of the drive and had them tell him what amount it would take to make the Michigan total end in 13-10 (last year's OSU game score) and they got it done.  Pettiness for good.  Doesn't get better.

A young woman walked casually down a public street only to find herself suddenly surrounded by masked law enforcement officers in plain clothes. Without explanation — and in the absence of criminal charges and any due process — she was forced into a waiting vehicle and vanished into the labyrinth of the state security system.

Sound familiar? You’d be forgiven for thinking we’re recounting what happened to the Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk in Somerville, Mass., last month. But no: That was the September 2020 abduction of the political activist Maria Kolesnikova in the capital of Belarus, the former Soviet republic that is home to one of the most repressive governments in the world.

It should be noted that the DOJ is fighting her ordered move back to Vermont. But the judge in the case has ordered she be sent back to Vermont by May 1.

ICE can enter your home without a warrant, if they suspect you have someone illegal inside. 
 

Quote

Trump administration officials directed law enforcement nationwide to pursue suspected gang members into their homes, in some cases without any sort of warrant, according to a copy of the directive exclusively obtained by USA TODAY.

The directive, issued by Attorney General Pam Bondi March 14, provides the first public view of the specific implementation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act invoked to deport migrants accused of being members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

A day after that announcement, March 15, immigration officials apprehended and flew more than 200 Venezuelans to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, which has been criticized for its harsh and dangerous conditions.

Oh, I know you're not.  But if you're a true-believer in the 2nd amendment, you should want ALL Americans to be properly apprised of their rights and how to exercise them.  Right?

Yea for sure. Why would I have a problem with liberals owning a gun if they do it legally?

Mostly because most conservatives, who we all THOUGHT were super-worried about an authoritarian government casually acting outside the rule of law and sweeping people up without regard for the constitution....but it turns out they were only worried about that in their fever-dreams when they thought that might happen to white people.  So, you'll understand when we doubt the sincerity of any conservative's professed reverence for constitutional rights.
